You guys sure know how to derail and thread and get it 100% off topic, thanks!

Just for the record, the vast majority of mid leveling groups are healer/healer/shaman/PBTRM/Skald/meleex3

You would have right at about the same DPS on purple mobs with Bard/Druid/Warden(pbt)/meleex5 without celerity. That's just a melee comparison. Im fairly confident that running 5 PBAOE instead of melee would be even faster. You could respec at 40 and just aoe/single target nuke to 50 as well.

Either of these methods would have you at 50 in half the time it takes to make a PL character to 50, and then PL that other character. Templates included. Not much that a FG of PBAOE or Melee can't farm for a template. Not really sure the point of 200 animists is to a realm.

EDIT: I also leveled fairly quickly as a RM and knew good and well within the first week (before level 40) that respec stones weren't available (and there was no set date as to when they would be). Not sure that ignorance is ever an excuse, but it really shouldn't be here.

Ah, so pbaoe and "ae/single target nuke" dmg is basically the same, got it. Have no idea how we were going to proceed in hibernia without your confidence about things...
